Eddie's Farm: July 18

Oklahoma City (41-55)

That's a wild one right there in Albuquerque: with the Isotopes taking a 6-2 lead into the 7th, OKC were the anti-Astros, and scored six of the final seven runs for an 8-7 OKC win.

Drew Locke was 3x4 with a triple, walk, and an RBI and Tommy Manzella was 2x4 with a double and a two-run homer (3RBI total). J.R. Towles was 1x3 with a solo homer and a stolen base; and Luis Durango (2B), J.B. Shuck (2RBI), and Koby Clemens had a hit and a walk.

Man of the Match: Tommy Manzella

Corpus (35-58)

Corpus hit four homers, but still managed to lose to Midland 15-8, thanks to an 8-run 5th by the Rockhounds.

Tri-City (12-17)

Staten Island never trailed in this game, though Tri-City came back from a 4-0 deficit to tie it up in the 5th. Ultimately, SI's final eight runs were too much in a 12-4 win over the ValleyCats. Adam Champion - just sent to Tri-City from Lexington - allowed 5H/4ER, 2K:2BB in 3IP; Dayan Diaz took the loss, giving up 2H/5ER, 5K:3BB in 2.2IP; Travis Blankenship allowed 1H/2ER, 3K:1BB in 2IP and Joan Belliard gave up a three-run homer in 1.1IP (allowing both of Blankenship's ERs).
